Elke Finkenauer associates her work with human experience, specifically the behaviours people adopt to navigate the structures containing them. These have included relationships, social situations, family or work environments, and retail/financial/art markets. Positing the co-existence of simultaneity and contradiction the work is underpinned by matters of gender politics, economics, and the relationship between the said and the unsaid.
